Summary

Pinecrest Creek Charter is a small K-5 elementary school in Orlando, FL, serving just 119 students as part of the Orange school district, and it has transformed from a low-performing school a decade ago into a solidly average-to-above-average performer today.

This school stands out for its exceptional math performance, especially in the early grades. In the 2025-2026 school year, 3rd-grade math proficiency hit 88% and 4th-grade reached 84%, far outpacing the district averages of 67% for both grades. Nearby schools like Lake Silver Elementary (34% and 30%) and Riverside Elementary (60% and 33%) lag significantly behind. Even the high-performing Princeton Elementary (89% and 78%) is only slightly ahead in 3rd grade and behind in 4th. However, the school has a notable weakness in science, with 5th-grade proficiency at just 38% in 2025-2026, far below the district (67%) and state (60%) averages. This "two-speed" academic profile—strong in math, weak in science—is a defining characteristic not seen as sharply in other nearby schools.

Pinecrest Creek is also a story of efficiency and resilience. It spends significantly less per student ($11,938 in 2024-2025) than lower-performing neighbors like Hungerford Elementary ($16,590) and Lake Silver Elementary ($15,610), suggesting a focus on effective instruction rather than high spending. The school has also made a dramatic reversal in chronic absenteeism, dropping from a spike of 30.9% in 2023-2024 to a much lower rate, contrasting sharply with Lake Weston Elementary, which had a staggering 51.5% rate. Interestingly, Princeton House Charter, located just 0.12 miles away on the same street, ranks dead last in the state with 0% proficiency in all subjects, highlighting that a school's success is driven by its leadership and culture, not just its location.
